Almost ready for the next show. ABOUT MY WORK At the core, my work would be described as “abstracted mixed-media.” Basically, I use acrylics for color and often add a variety of things for texture. These would include — but not be limited to — markers; crayons; gels; wood; metal; fabric; paper; etc, etc. Sometimes the final piece is finished with a coat of epoxy-resin and sometimes with an isolation coat – depending on the complexity. When you look at a body of my work — which may span over a period of 8 to 12 mos.— you might have a couple different thoughts. Either 1. I have ADHD (difficulty focusing on one style…) or, 2. I have a great curiosity and interest in exploring the possibilities. From what you see on this site, I probably exhibit both the above options, however, I am influenced by the happenings around me. I project my feelings in response to national, political and local happenings. And yes, sometimes I'm influenced by nothing more than the beauty around me, or the songs blaring from the speakers in my studio.
